Kanye West under investigation for Beverly Hills battery

Police have named Kanye West as a suspect in a misdemeanor battery case in Beverly Hills. The alleged incident happened at 12:15 p.m. on Monday. West allegedly punched a man after the man began verbally attacking and hurling racial epithets at Kim Kardashian outside of a chiropractor’s office. West left before the police got there.

A judge will not grant a bid made by Michael Jackson’s mother for a retrial in the wrongful death lawsuit she filed against concert promoter AEG Live LLC. Katherine Jackson previously sued the company, saying it was responsible for the 2009 death of her son. A jury ruled that the company wasn’t liable in October.

Ronan Farrow took a shot at his possible father, Woody Allen, on Twitter during Sunday’s Golden Globes as Allen received the Cecile B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. “Missed the Woody Allen tribute-did they put the part were a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?” Farrow tweeted.

Michael Douglas is slated to take on the role of Hank Pym in “Ant-Man.” Pym is the original Ant-Man in the comic books. “With Hank Pym’s rich history in the Marvel Universe, we knew we needed an actor capable of bring the weight and stature to the role that the characters deserved,” said Marvel president Kevin Feige. “We felt incredibly relieved when Michael Douglas agreed to step into the part with the charm and fortitude he brings to every character he inhabits, and couldn’t be more excited to see what he will do to bring Hank Pym to life.”
